iMIS Web Controls

How to customize the web interface? Changing master page doesn't work!

We need to customize the web interface for our client. I am new in iMis, and our version is iMis15.
Seems simply change the master pages under /templates/masterpages/ folder doesn't affect the front-end look. However if I delete public.master, it reports error. If I put an empty public master page there, it still works as before I made the changes.
I notice all pages are inherited from Asi.Bae.Web.xxxx, does that mean we don't have any easy ways to modify the interface?

Adding pages to the Public View

Has anyone added pages to the iMIS 15 Public View and secured the page by Security Groups or by a person's committee affiliation? We have added several pages to the Public View and have secured them by roles and by having you log in, however, we would like to take it a step further and secure the page by committee affiliation or by the security group.

Eliminating the ASP.Net "idle timeout" for iMIS application servers

Symptom: If you're seeing random, periodic extremely slow page refreshes on your iMIS app server (full or public view, either one), check the first section of this Howto for the ASP.Net "idle worker process timeout" setting.

The issue is that by default, IIS kills the ASP.Net worker process after 20 minutes of inactivity, causing the next page access to restart the appdomain (leading to that annoying "first hit" slowdown as all the business objects are loaded, iBO initialized, etc).

Populating Public User Passwords

When switching to a new website most clients want this to be as "seemless" as possible for the members. We would like to populate the public user username and passwords with the values they already know. eSeries allowed this type of functionality with a process to populate the username and password, however the public view does not. Has anyone developed a process to do this for the public view? I am thinking some webservice or stored proc could be leveraged to cycle thru exsisting passwords in a table so that they coulld be encrypted and then stored correctly in iMIS ready for the public view to use. Open to other thoughts or ideas too....

i15 top nav bar

we would like to eliminate the directory selection from the imis public view. anybody know how to change the top nav bar?

Is it possible to filter products displayed in the store by member?

As far as I can tell it is only possible to control if a product will or will not appear on the web site store.

I am looking to see if anyone has controlled the specific products a particular member can see?

I would like to be able to limit what products are visible in the web site to different members.

Has anyone done this or knows how to do it?

ASI Css Decoded

With all the ranting and raving by people (me), about CSS, and simple Html markup. I’ve had quite a few questions similar to “what exactly does that mean?” I’m going to take a few minutes and “decode” where we’re heading with our Html markup and CSS, and what the big drive was for our Frio release.

Another Control for consistent HTML generation

Always a stickler for UI patterns and consistency, I’ve found another pattern that seems to be repeating a lot…

An object that has a title, a description and optionally a Thumbnail Image and (optionally again) a HighRes image.

Redirect after iMIS 15 Public Account Creation

I'm using standard .NET Forms Authentication for my application. When I load up my page, I get redirected to the login page and there is a Query String variable, ReturnURL, that once authenticated, will return me to the this page. I need something like this for the account creation process.

The iMIS 15 Public Login, /iMISPublic/AsiCommon/Controls/Shared/FormsAuthentication/Login.aspx , page has a link to create a new account. When I click the link, it does not retain my ReturnURL Q-string variable. Is there someway that I can have a user go through the account creation process and once completed, get redirected to their originally requested page?

Multiple Forms in 15 page

In iMIS 15 mater page, there is a form enclose the whole template. How can I insert other forms in to master page without damage the site? For example, a area of the template allow you to login or a area for search.

Has anyone change or modify 15 mater page? I have other challenages on doing so. Like change style of treeview (no documentation of this control properties).

Thanks.
